This plugin allows any other plugin access to the functions and special variables needed to make it backward (and forward) compatible with most versions of SM in wide use. This eliminates the need for duplication of certain functions throughout many plugins. It also provides functionality that helps check that plugins have been installed and set up correctly.

A matrix of plugins that specifically require the Compatibility plugin to be installed (and what version thereof) is located here.

Sorry, folks. Changed the location of the compatibility patch again. When upgrading to this version, you *MUST* remove the patch from version 2.0.3 (to do so, just re-run the patch for that version *BEFORE* you unpack and install this version). As with before, patches from version 2.0.2 or previous will do no harm if left in place. If you are using version 2.0.3, upgrade is especially recommended.

Changed the location of the compatibility patch. Everyone upgrading to this version will need to re-run the patch! The old compatibility patch becomes obsolete, but it does not hurt anything to be left in place.

(Minor fix) Some applications of this plugin were experiencing unusual include order, so added an include of the global.php file to be safe.

Even though older versions of SquirrelMail have some of the functions that this plugin duplicates, because they have session issues, the compatibility version of those functions now takes precedence over older SquirrelMail core code.
